Basically I have had your problem all my life. All these years I have just been exchanging one addiction for another. When I am into something, I always throw myself wholeheartedly into it. Then the addiction sticks for years.
Some people call that "passion". I believe that "addiction" may be a more appropriate word. My friends think that I am a highly successful, remarkably versatile and very outstanding person. Actually what I am is highly addicted to whatever I do.
I've reached the point where I am very wary of trying out any new activity, for fear that it will become a new addiction and suck up my life for the next 5 years. Four or five addictions is about the maximum I can suffer at any given time.
